I recently got a macintosh se /40 in a sale but the mainboard is bad. However the black and white crt does work and I was wondering if there was a way to use it as a monitor. I want to put my own computer in the se case (probally going to be a mac mini) and use the original screen. Similar to what these guys did but with the original monitor. http://geektechnique.org/macmod.html

Can anyone here point me in the right direction with this? IM looking for a schematic of the se/40 but all i can ever find are ones for the se/30.

Anything would help
-Thanks

By SE/40, I assume you mean a regular SE with a 40 meg hard drive?

Regardless, I think what you're proposing will be pretty difficult without a good amount of work. As with most things I'd check with the old Mac geeks over at the 68kMLA:

OK thanks for the link. I understand it wont be an easy task, i just cant stand to see it go in the trash or abused. Ill make a similar post over at the mac geeks site you just showed me. Thanks for the help :)
